2007-2017 Ford Mondeo added to Takata recall

Ford has added the 2007-2009 and 2014-2017 Mondeo to the ever-growing list of vehicles in line to have their faulty Takata airbags replaced. As with all Takata recalls, a combination of heat and humidity can make the airbag propellant in affected vehicles degrade. In a collision where the airbag is triggered, there's a risk the inflator will rupture under too much internal pressure, sending metal shrapnel shooting into the cabin.
